kde-i18n-doc Digest, Vol 276, Issue 1

[Hammad]

Thank you for the clarification.

Understood: KDE on Linux relies on glibc locales for language selection.

I will work on creating a glibc locale first ( brh_PK.UTF-8),  and then
submitting it upstream to glibc.

Two quick questions so I follow the right path:

   1.

   Once a glibc locale exists (brh_PK.UTF-8), is that sufficient for KDE to
   add/enable the Brahui translation team, or or are there other prerequisites
   before you can proceed?
   2.

   Do you recommend starting with one locale only (brh_PK) first, and
   considering additional region variants later (e.g., Afghanistan/Iran) only
   if needed?

Thanks again,
Hammad
